Dodgers: Dave Roberts Praises Max Muncy Despite Early Spring Struggles

Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy’s 2020 regular season was one to forget. After hitting a combined 256/.381/.545 in 2018 and 2019, the slugger struggled in 2020 (.192/.331/.389). To his credit, Muncy made no excuses publicly, but getting hit by a pitch and injuring his finger during the second Spring Training played a major role in his sluggish 2020.

This Spring Training, the Dodgers primary first baseman is 100% healthy and manager Dave Roberts said he has noticed the difference.

I see he’s in a considerably better place than he was last year and even last year at the Spring Training 2.
